Hi, I am 33yrs old and my 28yr old girlfriend is having an abortion. We took this long because she didnt know she was pregnant until she went to the doctor for an unrelated thing. We feel we would like to be parents, but at this particular point in time, it is simply impossible for us to have one because we are on the verge of opening a business in wich we have invested everything. She plays an important part of the business, and her pregnancy overlaps precisely with the months she needs to be at work 100%. If shes not there, there is no business and gone are our savings and efforts for the past year. I support her 100% and I told her exactly what are choices where, and we decided to end the pregnancy, it is what was best for both. I personally not fully comfortable with the desition, since I am 33 and feel I am around the age where I would like to become a father. On the other hand, a child would break our finances, and it would probably have the effect of putting serious strain on our relationship, and I am 100% sure I do not want a child growing up with separate parents.

Well anyways, our doctor has suggested her using misoprostol, she started to take 400mg vaginally yesterday at night, and 200mg in the morning, I am nervous, I am completely worried about her and what she is experiencing. I wish I could trade places with her to prevent her from dealing with this. The doctor told us this could take up to 2 days and I am finding the wait unbearable. On other sited I have read that some women take up to 800mg vaginally to induce a miscarriage, and I was wondering why our doctor decided to use such low dosages, my girlfriend has no physical problems whatsoever.
